Bug description:
  The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem
  regarding ubuntu-release-upgrader.  This problem was most recently
  seen with version 1:0.190.7, the problem page at
  https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/95e23eef1d67b997e47197c477a3149fa3b97b7b
  contains more details.

  Impact:
  Users of Ubuntu 12.10 (and 13.04) are unable to upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 (or 13.10) unless they manually install libgksu2-0 (or a package that depends on it).

  Test Case:
  1) Install Ubuntu 12.10 (or 13.04)
  2) Run /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk (with -d for 13.04)
  3) Click upgrade now
  4) Observe a crash

  With the version of ubuntu-release-upgrader from -proposed it will not
  crash

  Regression Potential:
  None as we are just readding a removed dependency for ubuntu-release-upgrader.

  Development Fix:
  The plan to fix this in the development release is to move to policykit instead of using gksu.
